Cryptophasa pseudogramma

Cryptophasa pseudogramma is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in New Guinea.[1]

The wingspan is about 48 mm. The forewings are whitish with scattered dark fuscous scales, the dorsal half suffused whitish-yellowish, the veins posteriorly corrugated. The costa is slenderly whitish-ochreous, the edge dark fuscous towards the base. There is an undefined patch of greyish suffusion with irregular dark fuscous irroration along the dorsum from near the base to four-fifths. There is a fine dark fuscous dash in the disc towards the base. The first discal stigma is represented by a similar dash, the second by a dark fuscous ring, the plical by a small dark fuscous ring or spot nearer the second than the first. A vague irregular angulated shade of dark fuscous irroration is found beyond the cell. The hindwings are light grey, paler towards the base.[2]
